Why did the old patriarch insist on handing over the Li family to Li Xi?
That's all because Li Xi is not the granddaughter of the old patriarch in the strict sense.
She is the daughter of the old patriarch.
This is all because the old patriarch had a drunken affair thirty years ago.
While my son is away on a business trip.
Under the guise of taking care of her, he impulsively climbed into his daughter-in-law's bed.
This is the biggest scandal in the Li family.
It was true that Li Xiang overheard a drunken old patriarch and an old housekeeper talking behind each other's back.
At that time, Zhen Li Xiang thought this was false news deliberately released by the old patriarch.
I want the real Li Xiang to become the sinner that everyone in the Li family calls for beating because of this fake news.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Li Xiang was very stable!
I didn't make any big fuss out of this news.
Instead, they secretly took samples a few months later to conduct a paternity test for the old patriarch and Li Xi.
Li Xiang did not choose a domestic appraisal agency.
Instead, I took advantage of my job to drop by when I was on a business trip abroad.
In order to prove the accuracy of the identification.
It was also to prevent the identification results from being deliberately affected by the old patriarch’s knowledge.
Li Xiang has chosen appraisal institutions from three different countries.
The final results were surprisingly consistent.
All three appraisals proved that Li Xi was indeed the biological daughter of the old patriarch.
certainly!
This scandal of the Li family.
The real Li Xiang definitely never mentioned it to Li Xiang.
It was also because of this scandal that Zhen Li Xiang's dislike of the Li family was raised to a whole new level.
The main reason is the people in this family.
It's just that the family has been corrupted by power and money for a long time and no longer has family cohesion.
What is also sad is that the vast majority of the family have completely lost their basic humanity.
You must know that the Li family's industry also faced severe tests during the last global economic crisis.
Zhen Li Xiang's father struggled to support himself by relying on the daily chemical company under his name.
Whoever in the family is in trouble?
A truly Li Xiang father would take it as his own business without hesitation.
Help the family get through the crisis.
But what I never expected was when my father's daily chemical company was at its lowest point.
It happened that the capital chain was broken due to the triangular debt problem.
Li Xiang's father begged almost everyone in the clan he had helped.
In the end, I only borrowed less than 20,000 yuan, which was a drop in the bucket.
soon!
My father's daily chemical company finally declared bankruptcy.
On the day of bankruptcy, many people from outside the family were welcomed.
Including some tribesmen who cannot find anyone to borrow money from.
Do not misunderstand!
They are definitely not here to help comfort my father.
Not to mention helping my father deal with the aftermath of the bankruptcy of the daily chemical company.
Instead, they all flocked to try to rob some of the assets available after the bankruptcy of some daily chemical companies.
Zhen Li Xiang's father ended up being hurt by these family members.
Unable to compensate laid-off workers.
I was forcefully forced to jump off the building by the workers of the daily chemical company.
At that time, although Zhen Li Xiang had deep conflicts with his father due to some reasons.
So he doesn't have too deep feelings for his father.
But when he saw his father jumping from the tallest building of the Japanese Chemical Factory...
The shocking scene made an adult boy kneel on the ground and burst into tears.
It was also because Zhen Li missed his father.
Since then, the employees of Daily Chemical have never disturbed Zhen Li Xiang and her daughter.
However, Li Xiang’s mother couldn’t bear the shock of her father’s sudden death.
He died of depression in less than a year.
The death of his parents left Zhen Lixiang as a child without a home.
It was also because his parents passed away one after another.
The uncles and uncles in the family really taught Zhen Li Xiang another lesson.
What is the evil heart of society?
That is, the mother's funeral is over.
The inheritance originally left by his parents to Zhen Li Xiang was divided up again.
fortunately!
Really Li Xiang also has a good friend named Chen Jian!
It won’t make Zhen Li want to live on the street.
later!
Zhen Li Xiang and Chen Jian founded Zhihua Technology together.
When Zhihua Technology is about to take off.
The scheming old patriarch arranged for a so-called angel investor.
Zhihua Technology, which was really imagined by Li Li, eventually became the property of the Li family.
Zhen Li thought that after learning about the old patriarch's conspiracy.
He was so angry that he came to the house with a knife to punish the old patriarch for his insidiousness.
This is another reason why Zhen Li Xiang doesn't want to call the old patriarch grandpa.
crucial moment!
Chen Jian was still very conscious and stopped Zhen Li Xiang's impulse in time.
However, there is always a way out.
Zhihua Technology has developed slowly for two years under the intervention of the Li family.
In the end, Li Xiang used Li Xi's wedding to break away from the Li family again.
Li really wants to believe in the near future.
His Zhihua Technology will definitely replace the Li family completely.
This is an important goal for Li Xiang’s Zhihua Technology to exist in the world.
right!
Li Xiang really doesn't just want to get back everything that originally belonged to him.
Because Zhen Li Xiang feels that this group of impersonal villains are not worthy of standing in the world.
Just like the current old patriarch.
He obviously knows that his actions will put his family into a desperate situation.
But the selfish thing is to pretend not to see your own mistakes.
He also knew that his doting behavior would make Li Xi a child who would never grow up.
He insisted on continuing to dote on her and agreed to Li Xi's request.
In other words, Li Xi will only come here if he wants to eat fruit from now on.
They will all entertain Zhang Ling according to the same standards as today.
The old patriarch lives a relatively frugal life.
The food served on the table is usually grown on the private plot in the family's yard.
If you can't make enough by yourself, just buy some at a nearby supermarket.
Unless there are guests at home, we will choose to fly fresh food from abroad according to the needs of the guests.
However, the old patriarch became very unprincipled whenever he encountered something like Li Xi.
In most cases, Li Xi's wishes will be followed.
That was all because the old patriarch always felt that he owed Li Xi.
I owe him for not giving Li Xi fatherly love in an upright manner.
Li Xi showed a satisfied smile after hearing the old patriarch's promise.
Half of his face was pressed tightly against the old patriarch's face and he said happily:
"Grandpa, the patriarch, is the best to Xi'er! Xi'er promises that from now on, she will love grandpa the patriarch as much as she does today."
The old patriarch did not understand the true meaning of Li Xi's words.
He actually laughed out loud like a child who got the most wanted gift from his parents.
But what is actually Li Xi’s subtext?
Whenever the old patriarch dares to neglect Li Xi.
Li Xi dared to continue playing tricks and pretending to be unhappy.
The purpose was to establish Li Xi's irreplaceable position among the old patriarch.
Because Li Xi just doesn't allow anyone to have a higher status than her in this family.
Especially she cannot tolerate Zhang Ling's status being higher than hers.
This is the morbid mentality that Li Xi has cultivated in Zhang Ling for more than ten years.
I'm afraid even a psychiatrist can't help correct it.
Correction?
No.
She never thought about it.
I'm afraid that in Li Xi's world, this has already been regarded as the greatest pleasure in life.
Li Xi's answer just now also caused Zhang Ling and Zhang Ling to laugh.
The old patriarch heard a hint of ridicule in the laughter of the two.
So I asked them what they were laughing at?
Li Xi was obviously guilty and afraid that Zhang Ling would tell the truth.
So he quickly explained to the old patriarch with a smile:
"Grandpa, what else can they laugh about? They must be happy that our grandson and grandpa love each other and live in harmony."
The old patriarch refused to believe it easily and his eyes lingered on the two of them for a while.
Is this a matter of choosing which of the two is more trustworthy?
He thinks Li Xiang was someone he grew up watching.
Li Xiang, who has always been rebellious, would probably not be able to tell the truth to him.
He also thought that he was not very familiar with Zhang Ling.
He has always established a good image of a kind old man in front of Zhang Ling.
I believe Zhang Ling will tell the truth based on her good impression of him.
So the old patriarch’s eyes finally settled on Zhang Ling and asked:
"Zhang Ling, are you really smiling as Xi'er said?"
Li Xi's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
She knew that she had never found favor with Zhang Ling.
I think Zhang Ling will definitely do it in front of her.
Ruthlessly exposed her little cleverness with the old patriarch.
So her brain immediately thought quickly about how to explain to the old patriarch after the cleverness was revealed?
When she just thought of a perfect reason.
Li Xi heard Zhang Ling nod to the old patriarch and say:
"Li Xi and I have been best friends since we were in school. How can she know what I'm thinking in my heart?"
Li Xi was not at all vague about fooling the old patriarch.
After hearing Zhang Ling give him a step, he immediately continued:
"That's right! It's just about the deep friendship between you and me. If I don't understand you, who else will understand you?"
There was a hint of imperceptible bitterness in Zhang Ling's smile and she said:
"That's right!"
If she didn't want the old patriarch to see through at a glance what she was thinking?
She really wanted to expose Li Xi's hypocrisy right away in front of the old patriarch.
But then I thought about it, so what if I exposed it?
Li Xi has always believed that as long as he is not embarrassed.
Then it will always be other people's principles that are embarrassing.
In addition, the old patriarch can always help Li Xi deal with any mess.
Zhang Lingcai felt that exposing the truth was undoubtedly a thankless task.
It would be better to pretend to be confused so that the old patriarch can't figure out how to do things.
certainly!
This is not something Zhang Ling thought of on a whim.
That's because she doesn't follow the usual routine when working.
That's why she has achieved remarkable results in the field of artificial intelligence.
Just like this time, she returned to work in the group in a high-profile manner.
Only then can we think of arranging for Bieshanliu to join forces with Zhihua Technology to put on a big show for her strong comeback.
nature!
This big drama must have the huge help of Li Xiang.
Otherwise, the stage might be ruined by Li Xiang's lack of cooperation as soon as it is set up.
To avoid this happening.
That's why Zhang Ling showed great affinity when she saw Li Xiang again.
Only then did Zhang Ling look like a little birdie in the car when she arrived.
Back to business.
The old patriarch is not a fool either.
I had already learned about it through the old housekeeper’s investigation about Zhang Ling.
Li Xi and Zhang Ling were not as close as they showed today.
The relationship between them can even be described as being at odds with each other.
So since these two women want to perform in front of him.
The old patriarch believes that this scene is far better than those embarrassing film and television dramas nowadays.
Don't bother.
It's better to keep a theater-going mentality and watch the theater.
This can also make your mentality look several years younger.
At dinner time.
In order to show the importance to Zhang Ling, the old patriarch.
A table of sumptuous meals looks like the emperor of a feudal dynasty dining.
In particular, Zhang Ling was assigned a helper to help with the dishes.
What does she want to eat?
All it takes is a look or a word.
Zhang Ling looked at Li Xi opposite, enjoying being served while eating.
He would even scold the helpers for their clumsiness from time to time.
The fish bones in the fish meat that I ate were not carefully sorted out.
One accidentally hit his gum.
While Li Xi screamed in pain, he did not forget to kick the servant arrogantly.
He accused the maid of deliberately trying to kill her.
Even the maid serving Zhang Ling shivered with fear when she saw the tragic scene in front of her.
It felt like Li Xi's fists and feet had fallen on her.
Apparently, Li Xi usually comes here to eat.
They must have beaten up all the maids here.
That's why the helpers around Zhang Ling have such personal experience.
The old patriarch personally helped Li Xi remove the fish bone from his mouth.
Li Xi disliked the clumsy behavior of the beaten helper.
So he took the initiative to ask the helper around Zhang Ling to come and serve him.
The helper beside Zhang Ling subconsciously moved her feet behind Zhang Ling, her face immediately turned pale with fright, and she kept shaking her head.
When Li Xi saw this, his angry eyes were about to pop out.
She looked like she was vowing to skin down any servant who disobeyed her.
He was about to get up and walked over to Zhang Ling.
At this time, the frightened helper seemed to be in a panic.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Ling's sleeves, shook his head and prayed:
"No, I don't want to go. I beg the patriarch's wife to save me. I really don't want to go."
Zhang Ling thought to herself, why would this helper beg her?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Look at the proficiency of the helpers working here.
I believe it must have been a long time working!
Ask her for help now?
This inevitably made Zhang Ling feel that there might be some unknown conspiracy and trap in the maid's behavior.
So she could only decide to observe for a while before talking.
Li Xi came over quickly and angrily.
The posture of raising his feet was obviously preparing to teach the servants around Zhang Ling another lesson.
In the end, Zhang Ling did it because of the kindness in her heart.
He shouted loudly:
"Li Xi, wait a moment."
Li Xi actually stopped kicking him because of Zhang Ling's shouting.
Then he said with some confusion:
"What? Zhang Ling, you are going to intercede on her behalf."
Zhang Ling shook her head with a somewhat indifferent look.
Ignoring Li Xi's next question.
She looked at the old patriarch with a serious face and a sense of calmness and said:
"Grandpa Patriarch, I don't know what the rules are for entertaining distinguished guests at home?"
The old patriarch really thought Zhang Ling was asking about the rules.
So I motioned to the old butler to come forward and help explain the rules.
But before Zhang Ling could wait for the old housekeeper to speak, she continued:
"Sorry! I don't really want to know now! Uncle XX (old housekeeper), you don't have to explain it to me."
The old housekeeper glanced at the old patriarch in confusion before asking:
"Why?"
Zhang Ling glanced at Li Xi and the maid serving her and said:
"Look! This servant was assigned by the old patriarch to serve me during my meal. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Li Xi raised his foot so blatantly that he was ready to beat me. So, please ask her about me, the distinguished guest invited by the old patriarch.
Where was it placed?"
The old housekeeper looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer?
I can only throw the problem to the old patriarch.
The old patriarch's face was full of embarrassment.
I didn’t know what to say for a while.
Zhang Ling didn't intend for it to end just like that.
She stood up slowly, looked at Li Xi, smiled and said:
"Miss Li Xi, you can hit her! But please wait until I leave before you do it?"
Li Xi answered Zhang Ling without waiting for a reaction.
There was a hint of bitterness in Zhang Ling's smile, and she looked at the old patriarch and said:
"It seems that the old patriarch has more important guests than me, Zhang Ling, to entertain. Then Zhang Ling will take her leave without disturbing you."
Say it!
Zhang Ling gave Li Xiang a look.
The two of them walked hand in hand to the door in the distance.
